I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

Thursday

my 15 year old son to me this morning

As we drive up to his school so I can drop him off for the day:

"Mom, can you please turn that down. I don't want all my friends to know my mother listens to emo music."

My son made me turn down the Buzzcocks when I dropped him off one morning. I keep threatening to play the Butthole Surfers next time we carpool.

About 10 years ago I worked with an old hippyish woman that got very upset when her sixteen year old son did not want to go see the Rolling Stones with her. She said that they only wanted to listen to 'punk and rap crap' not good music like the Stones.

I asked her if she would have gone to a concert with her parents when she was 16. She told me that they only listened old folks music, not good music like the Rolling Stones.

She never caught on that her kids were doing the exact same thing she did when she was a teenager.
